However, it’s in the humor depart- ment that he shows off well and he gets chuckles quipping with his frau. 'They.pair up to sock across “Down Yonder.” Wally Brown continues to get laughs with his standard incom* plete-sentence act, and even some real yocks when he veers to the tinged edges. Biggest response is on his middle-age finish t h a t’s rigged with blue stuff. Harold & Wanda Bell are an ex- cellent balancing turn with pretty blonde executing some air somer- saults to partner’s’shoulder, Louis Basil does his usual competent job backing the revue. Zabe.

Pearl Bailey, Chris Powell & Blue Flames *(6), Bobby Lucas, Fox & White, The Dassies, Frank Juele's House Orch (16); “Finders Keepers ” (UI). , Pearl Bailey’s relaxed stage presence is the main event in the new variety at the Earle. The highly individualistic songstress- comedienne handles the stubhold- ers in this 2,700-seat house with the same ease that she manages the smaller and more intimate nitery crowds. Her skillfully simu- lated off-the-cuff style gives each performance a fresh quality. The adlibs, neatly set in her 'songs, seem .impromptu, and her laconic description of a hassle with the manager over salary comes across so realistically that she is forced later to deny it. Audience keeps yelling fo^ old favorites and. Miss Bailey doesn’t get-off without her two best known recitatives, “Tired” and • “That’s Good Enough for Me.” In line with her studied fatigue, songstress settles down on piano • bench— why should I stand, everybody else is sitting”—and* does plaintive version of “Birth of the,,Blues. More in character is her -“TOot, Toot, Tootsie, Gebdbye” in which she recalls the frenetic dancing and song stylists of song’s period. Sing- er opens with tho amusing “I Had a Wonderful Time Last Night” and closes with “Frankie and Johnny.” It’s a class act all the way. Chris’ Powell & Blue Flames, with the leader doubling at the, drums and vocals, is a big fave in this area. Combo is at its best in a Calypso, item, “I Come from Jamaica,” that “builds rhythm- and vocals in solid fashion. Powell also scores with his wordy version of Fm'In^the Mood for Iaoye,”' the platter edition of which is already getting strong play on local jukes and deejay shows. Song .has good sight laugh with its response sung by Johhny Echo, member of cojnbo, with remarkably femme pipes. Bobby Liwas is well received in a vocal fcpot. Singer has fine voice but actions, and style are too remi- niscent of’ Billy Daniels, which gives his “Old "Black Magic” closer a road company appearance. Lucas can come in strong enough with his own, vpice and doesn’t need the duplication. His numbers in- clude “Zing Went the Strings of My Heart,” “Be Anything” and “Joshua Fit the Battle of .Jericho.” Other acts oii the bill' are -.yox & White, comedy dub Whose de- livery is superior-to their material, and the DassieS, a clever and fast- moving pair of tumblers. - Frank Juble’s house orch mounted on stage, backs up all the acts. Gagh. Bishop Sheen Continued from page l he’s well satisfied with DuMont and that, since it was the latter web which took the original gam- ble on him, he’ll stick with it. Since NBC would not be able to sell the bishop’s show if it succeeded in luring him away from DuMont, it’s believed the web wants him for prestige purposes. At the same time, however, it’s pointed out that Sheen has whittled some points off Milton Berle’s Tuesday night rat- ing, so pulling him over to NBC would also help protect the Berle show. nostalgic sentiment is conjured up for older stubholders * by song* about little villages by the shore and green fields in the glens of “Quid Oireland.” Proof that-..there are Irish all over the world is shown by gener* ous and sympathetic audience reac- tion. Entire production, while rough and earthy in parts, is the genuine article from rural Eire, and garners warm mittlng. Irish dancing is well featured in scenes devised by Pat McKay, a neat and lithe stepper, and shows to advantage the terping talents of Jean Elliott, Jimmy Kennedy, Mai Giles fa blonde looker with an attractive Irish brogue), Lillian • McEvoy, Pat McKay jind the Sham- .. rocks. ‘Comedy in the Irish manner comes ‘Slickly from Pave & Joe O’Puffy, a genial duo from Belfast. Latter cashes in neatly and humor-" ously on his height of six feet six. Pair have a friendly, pleasant approach, dress cleanly, and de- serve more vaude success. 9 The balladeer is George Daniells, who renders songs and patter about Ireland and extends his numbers ' for as long as audience wishes. He runs this homely family show, in which his 74-year-old father, Bracey Daniells, and . his wife, Margo McLean, also take part. Second half is devoted to melo- drama, changing weekly. “Wearin* o’ the 1 Green” is in nine scenes, and describes the escape from the military of Irish hero Myles O'Byrne (Georgfc Daniells) and his love for Kathleen ; (Mai Giles). Piece, while corny for modern . tastes, is * acted;., with ‘spirit arid verve, and holds! the attention. The villainous Jacob Daly, played by vet actor Frank Howard, is so offensive and miserable a charac- terization that, at show caught, he was on receiving end- of ribald remarks from members of the* audience. Some actually stood up. .and unleashed their feelings. For 1952 sophisticates this is a novel experience. Gord. AGVA Confab Continued from page 40 Wally Lane are Cincinnati’s choices.

George Daniells presents “Sprigs of Shillelaghwith George Dani- ells, O'Duffy Bros,, Douglas Sc Mc- Evoy Trio , Silvio, Noel D’Alton, Mai Giles, Oolagh Herrietty, Frank Howard, Bert Shaw, George Quinn, Billy Dunphy, Margo McLean, Sally Devine, Pat Makcay, Jimmy Kennedy ,, Bracey DaniellsThe Shamrock Girls, Jack Masterson orch; “The Wearin’ o’ the Green,” historical Irish melodrama; twice nightly. t Direct from the green hills of Southern Ireland, this homespun vaude company, normally used to touring the villages of Eire by caravan, comes to this historic Scot theatre where the late Sir Harry Lauder first trod the boards • pro- fessionally. It is pure native enter tainment, as Irish as the accents of its company, as honest and genuine in its approach as the motives of the players. The green garb is everywhere. The stage is so Irish you expect shamrocks to start sprouting on the boards. Irish tunes abound, and Sugar Ray-Maxim ss; Continued from.page I's; Omaha and it ‘ Is. eoritracted for by the broadcast networks. Fight will not be available to home video, a fact which is. ex- pected to increase materially the theatre grosses. Exhibitors, .per usual, are expected to have the choice of carrying the fight only on that night, or accompany it with a regular film program. On the basis of returns of most fights provided theatres last year by TNT, it’s anticipated that most of the theatres will hlkq their admission scales, since that’s the only way In which they can show a profit for the evening. Fact that the fight is being" staged on a Thursday night 4s be- lieved to have figured in TNT’s closing a deal -for exclusive TV rights. This necessarily excluded the bout from the Wednesday night fight series sponsored on CBS-TV by Pabst Beer. Since the networks have their usual commercial com- mitments for Thursday nights, they would have been forced to preempt time from their sponsors if they wanted to carry it. TNT, as a re- sult. had almost a clear field in tying down thr rights.
